I thought Blame Canada was hilarious movie and the main cause of that war was Jewish women did not appreciated Canadian humour and Sadam had a romantic affair with Satan. I can think of many more fake reasons for the US greedy elite to invade and brainwash Canada and US into war.
USA has invading 45 other countries combine since war world Two. Other than topical food those countries are not worth as much as Canada would be. Since man is mostly made of water and the face of earth 78% water, it makes water worth more than oil. What will happen if USA Sea, lakes and rivers all turn into sewers? Canada has the world largest coastlines and per capita most fresh water. Canada is the world's largest uranium producer and USA are only one who has uses for weapon of mass destruction, making Canada a greater target than Iraq.
That not all US! Geological Survey and some oil experts call the arctic area as the next Saudi Arabia for oil, and then we have the tar sands to boot.
Would the US want to make Canada the 51 state?
OR
Are our Royal Canadian Mounted Police, too tough for you, Canada has more hunters than hockey players, any intimidation there. Are beavers tougher than bald eagle?
What do you think?
Why would we bother with such an easy task for a bothersome payoff? We take what we want from you anyway. If some money changes hands it's less messy and everyone is happy.
Annexing Canada will be the final task assigned by the British-controlled Federal Reserve Bank to America for cleaning up the mess left by the collapse of the British Empire. Then comes the invasion of Mexico, the final battle of the War on Drugs.
But seriously, the only reason Canada hasn't joined the USA is because 90% of the population would move south, fed up with the cold weather.
Palm trees are growing all over Vancouver and some banana trees are starting. Record breaking heat waves across Canada almost every year, I have lost 80% of snow and ice sculpture business due to global warming, whether getting hotter and changing fast.
bald eagles and beavers?
what about the ever-popular bald beaver?
If USA wins, I will also move my entire family to Belize, just to avoid stories about the bald headed priest.
USA can't even beat poor countries like Iraq or Vietnam all they do is send money, burn villages to save the villages and blow stuff up.
More Canadian commit suicide in one year than all the USA troops killed in both wars in Iraq. Rather than kill themselves because they are unloved, now they have a stronger purpose for their love ones, now.
Canada has more nerds per capita than the USA They could hook up re mote controls cars, then drive them into USA troop camps and weapon supply trucks and US will get a big bang out of it...
I guess you don't get a lot of info up there.
Little things like how the US did not lose one major battle of the Vietnam War, or how the entire Iraqi military was destroyed and the government of saddam wiped out in about 3 weeks. Things like that.
Oh, and your nerds work on repairing space heaters and snowmobiles while ours go to outer space, create new industries and forms of communication that change the world, and stuff their closets with Nobel Prizes (the real ones - for science and such, not the political joke ones).
USA enter World War 2 late and claim they won. Iraq and Afghanistan is still ongoing and Korea was a stalemate. 'Bush, Uncle Sam, Iraq will be your Vietnam'.
The US tried twice to take Canada, and were so soundly defeated that they ended up losing most of what we now call Michigan lost to Canada in 1812,
WAR is only at number 59th place on the list of actually direct death, of most cause of death. Over all the number one greatest cause of death is poverty worldwide and if we took a fraction of the war budget which is the greatest waste, most expensive cost and solves nothing it would conquer most of the problem of poverty. Believe me, lawyers, the greedy and Politicians would not want you or the vast majority to know this number one cause of death is poverty, tooled under the name of God.
Obama won the Nobel prize for raising the USA WAR budget to it's highest ever. That is a great dishonor to the idea of peace and to the idea's of the Nobel prize.
Canadians try so hard to fabricate glory. We were actually fighting Indians, the French, or the British every time. If some of y'all were cowering in the cross-fire that's hardly the stuff of legends and statues.
Deposing the governments and crushing the national militaries of Iraq and Afghanistan took remarkably little time for US-led forces (not as little as it would take to sweep aside Canada's military, but remarkable nonetheless). Clearing out insurgents and working to build durable democracies and national infrastructure for the people of those countries is what has proven the longer job.
Actually you innovate little and borrow much!
Bill Gates took work done by Brit Alan Turing and built Microsoft.
The forms of communication that changed the world were again mainly British, OK, you helped with the satellites but the technology was British, developed while the telecoms industry in the UK was still state owned.
Sir Clive Sinclair was way ahead of you with micro computers, he also invented the pocket calculator, the digital watch and much more.
The hovercraft was a British invention as was the bicycle and the tarmac road, the inflatable tyre and just about every significant invention of the 19th and 20th century.
That is a pile of inaccuracies and absurd stretches. (Turing?! Why not go all the way and say he built Microsoft off the work of the first caveman to put two rocks in order - ridiculous). And you really don't want to get into the comparison game with us, you really don't.
So, you don't know who Alan Turing was but you know that he didn't invent computer operating systems!
And why on earth shouldn't I want to get into the comparison game with you? It seems like a good opportunity for you to display your ignorance
When did I say I didn't know who Turing was? I honestly think you must not be a native English speaker given the frequency with which you fail at comprehension. I don't mean that as an insult, but you really don't seem to follow along much of the time.
"why on earth shouldn't I want to get into the comparison game with you?"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_o … inventions
For a country that old, that's pretty thin - even with your transparently needed add-ins. Why not include India and Las Malvinas as well?
In a fraction of the time your supposed country has supposedly been a country (debatable) we have changed the entire world forever - including making yours entirely dependent on ours.
What transparently needed add ins?
What is the population of the US and what is the population of the UK.
And why include India and the Malvinos as well? They aren't apart of this tiny island who your lot are quick to remind us is not much bigger than Texas!
How is it debatable? We have been a country for as long as we've been a country!
And why do you assume that we are entirely dependent on yours? We get little food from you, we get little technology from you that we can't get else where. How exactly are we dependent on you?
A study by MITI - Japan's equivalent of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) - concluded that 54% of the world's most important inventions were British. Of the rest, 25% were American and 5% Japanese.
The figures offered by MITI are generally agreed throughout the scientific and engineering community. However, it is important to note that "invention" does not immediately translate into "new product". There is a huge journey to move from an invention to reaching the market place with a product, one that demands engineering and development skills as well as significant amounts of money.
Britain is credited with numerous inventions. One great example is the digital audio player. The first operating player was British. One would have to search long and hard to find a British MP3 player on the market today. It took Apple, an American corporation to fund the development work and deliver the Ipod to market.
Television is another example: The first operating television system was made, demonstrated and put into service in the UK by John Logie Baird and the BBC in the 1920s. Philo Farnsworth and RCA in the US made some significant developments and introduced commercial broadcasting in the 1930s. The US was the first to introduce color television, free market broadcasting and cable services to support multiple television channels. Most broadcast equipment is now made by US companies with Britain and the Far East behind the US in terms of output. Before moving on from television, it is worth noting that Baird used ideas developed by a German (with Russian heritage) some 20 or 30 years before. Farnsworth and Baird also worked together in the early thirties and they both had the benefit of research carried out by developers in many countries. To say that television is the invention of a single country is perhaps too simplistic.
There are many other examples that can be quoted. Undoubtedly Britain remains one of the leaders in science and innovation and America remains one of the great countries for bringing ideas to market. The culture of British universities encourages great minds to keep researching and inventing. The culture of American investment and business encourages entrepreneurs to take an idea and develop viable products.
There is often debate about the source of new ideas and inventions. Today's global environment allows ideas to be shared throughout the world. Inventions will be increasingly difficult to assign to a single country. It is perhaps more important that we celebrate and honor the great minds of all nationalities that have studied the world and developed technology to bring us to the point we are today

Just hang on to our coat tails as usual and we'll continue to drag you along into the future, lending you the security and legitimacy you used to have on your own.
Next you'll be telling me that 25% is bigger than 54%.
Tell me why in Afghanistan British troops were used to clear caves because the US military didn't have the skills and why one of your Generals said that if the British Army was as well equipped as the US Army, we'd be totally invincible?
I think that you'd do better to hang on to ours!
"Tell me why in Afghanistan British troops were used to clear caves"
Because you are expendable, obviously.
A survey offers a perspective into what innovation means to people from different parts of the world Voted by the people The computer is voted the greatest innovation of the last 100 years to be the innovation that has had most impact on them
China is set to become the world's powerhouse of innovation over the next decade, eclipsing the United States and Japan, according to an international survey released by AstraZeneca today. China, which is also forecast to overtake the US as the world's biggest economy by 2020, comes top with 27 per cent, followed by India on 17 per cent and the US with 14 per cent. Japan is in fourth place with 12 per cent, while just two per cent of respondents think Britain will rank as the world's most innovative nation in a decade's time. However, just one in twenty Britons believed the UK would be able to lay claim to this title. Two-thirds of British people also feel the country is not as innovative as it used to be.)
India
Indian citizens consider the US to be the most innovative country in the world (29 per cent)
The Japanese see the US as the most innovative country in the world today (40 per cent)
China
The Chinese agree that the US is the world's most innovative country today (46 per cent) and biggest supporter of innovation (50 per cent). But over half (57 per cent) believe China will have overtaken the US by 2020
And over the last hundred years?
It's not really up to debate and opinion polls though is it?
The most powerful nation do control most of the new innovation. At one time UK was the most powerful nation and way back in history Egypt and Babylon were. Like Edison, he wasn’t the first to raw invent the light bulb, yet he knew how to industrialize it as he did with many of his other products too.
But I'm not talking about control, I feely admit that the computer industry, and much else, is led and controlled by the US but what I am saying is that the innovation is not all their's.
Invent yourself some reading glasses. This issue has been covered.
Maybe you think so, there's still plenty of mileage in it for me 54%-25%.
Ok grandpa, finish your pudding and we'll listen to your stories of the old days...
What's the matter? Floored by 54% 25% and cant think of anything else to say but insuts
What insults? We've offering to let you come with us into the future. Just don't make too much noise on the way.
Y'all keep praciticing with the Halifax Gibbet, and when you're down to just one we'll teach you about the magic of the 'telephone' and 'dentistry.'
On the contrary, join us in the future, you'd be welcome.
What was it Mahatma Ghandi said when asked about Western civilisation? It would be a good idea:)
Never mind, you stick with your old fashioned ways and your beliefs that we threw off last century.
"What was it Mahatma Ghandi said?"
He said, "You smelly British get the hell out of my country and go see to your decaying, irrelevant homeland!"
Or words to that effect.
The last two times the US invaded Canada, it was a pretty big disaster.
God help the US of A if they ever try to take Canada. They would be in for one heck of a war. We may not have any nukes, but we have the favor of all members of the UN.
One of your idiot past presidents by declaring it the "Manifest Destiny of the United States" tried to buy Canada offering each Canadian citizen alive at the time (1 million dollars cash each) for the permission to annex Canada and make it the 49th state. We told that president to shove it then and we tell you now the same thing.
LOL @ "a heck of a war"!
LOL x 10000 @ "the favor of the UN"!
hahahahahahahahaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
You people do produce some quality comedy, I'll give you that!
Laugh all you want for now, but try something and we will see who is laughing after the smoke and dust settles.
If we had a surprise attack from the US and family was at high risk of death. I may not have enough numb heart to kill anyone, but Man O man there would be such a huge piles of amputees from me, in which would be more effective in making them think twice.
Then move my Family to Belize and write letters, blogs and yell out from every top of building to every nation about bloody murder. I am not stupid enough to risk 4,000,000 pounds of uranium like they have been experiencing in Iraq
Your silly false bravado aside, you seem to be very fond of Belize. Any particular reason?
Actually, we would be laughing WHILE reducing the few settled parts of your country to dust. But don't worry, as long as you remember your place we'll allow you to remain independent.
Short: You're short alright a few bricks short of a full load.
You haven't got the muscle or the brains to be able to put me in my place.
And since Canada is North of the US of A, I guess my place is far above you in intelligence and intellect as well as strength.
No matter how egos get out of whack in an over ego world, everyone is no better or worst in my books.
Short
Canada and the USA have too many of the rich and banks owning your house, owning your jobs and owning you.
Belize is the only country south of USA that speak English ,Belize is the second largest coral reef in the World, It's rich with plant and animals and a great investment and a wonderful place to pioneer a new way of thinking.
Well, unless you've got a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig wad of cash, you will usually need some financing to buy a house and such. And be careful in Belize as violence is on the rise there.
I have already built my house and building a whole ego village for healthy way of living to share. Great place to build your own house, pioneer new ways of thinking and safe if you stay away from Belize City.
Isn't it just like you to build an ego village? Always about YOU, idn't it?
It's about serving yourself first, so you can serve others better.
I would hope it's the same for your self.
"You haven't got the muscle or the brains to be able to put me in my place"
You seem to think it would take a lot of either.
The US has got enough of both for 100000 Canadas but like I said, remember your place and we'll be nice enough to you. Everybody wins.
Am I required to get drunk before answering?
I thought that was a general rule for every forum post!
Getting really drunk, helps you with your mean plan of attack.
The question is if Canada ever got its Internet money. Steven Abootman made a fairly convincing case for it.
We'd just call it 'storage' and mostly forget about it unless we needed to take stuff out of it. Pretty much as it is now.

Amerada, sound spainish
They have already invated most of centro America, and there 10 million americans living in Mexico, why not?
ShortStory
Why not take all of Canada, most big business is owned by the USA and the brainwashing media. USA and Canada trades are hell lately because Canada natural resources are the fastest rape country in the world, by foreigner.
Ice has melted from the Arctic the size of Alaska and Texas combine in the last 25 years, who answers for the millions of dead animals. Not the rich, that is for sure and when doses it slow down rather than keep speeding up rapidly.
Am I acting too unkind?
Maw. We like being known as stupid drunken invaders. I feel more manly already.
We already take what we want. Why bother taking on excess baggage?
These kinds of confronting talk are healthy, that way we can see the knife coming from Back and front sides.
The World is getting wise to it fast, and the US can be broken like the Roman’s
Naw. We're special. Quite literally! God loves us like he does not love you. So quit yer whining, damn Canuck.
Oh my God, I have stopped investing money in American and Canada's greedy gods and lot more are joining elsewhere fast.
I thought to give you some heads up.
Canada would win easy - but what would they do with the states after they took them over.
A thought, but Canadian are too nice and would not take over any other country because of our live and let live attitude
I hear they (Americans)are already buying tickets for other planets,so Canada's lookin safe an no need to learn Chinese even
That like buying the Brooklyn Bridge, there is no sign of life on other planets yet. Sounds like another bail out scam.
Canadians had better learn Chinese, Korean, or to pay more respect to their generous neighbors to the South.
The largest ethnic group in Vancouver and Toronto is Chinese. I find I can understand Canadian Chinese better than east Indians, whom speak English as their national language. They both understand English, is the international business language and French is the love Language.
I think Dade county, Florida, specks Spanish/ English
Couldn't hurt to learn Chinese in any case!
Have you ever seen the size of a Chinese dictionary, you almost need two people to carry it
You learned English didn't you? It's no harder than that.
Why? Chinese are not as stubborn as the French in learning English so much any more.
If someone can speak your language but you cannot speak theirs, you are at a potential disadvantage.
I speck a few languages any ways, for everyone to speck a dozen languages is not practical. As long as you know the national language of the country you are living in, that's good enough
I think whites, browns, yellow and black people will blend into one color, Brown, and Chinese language is too difficult to learn as it does not relate to most other languages around the world.
Difficult is relative, and it will be a lot more useful to know in the future than, say, French.
We have cell phones today, you can talk into them in English or Chinese and it translates a voice or text back. I went to China a few times and a lot of young Chinese speak some English
OR
You can study for years Chinese and talk to some old Chinese lady who may not want to talk to you.
Don't blame me when you find yourself at a disadvantage.
I have traveled every continent accept Antarctica and always carry a dictionary or hook up with a translator, do sign language, maps and most of all, a big smile.
Very little disadvantage
See? If you run into a Chinese person in Antarctica with the only plane out of there who also happens to be blind you are totally screwed! Don't you feel foolish now?
I wonder where you got your private like attitude from, Columbus maybe.
Naw I'm just kiddin.
Get real. We want Canada about as much as we want France.
I often live in my eco village in Belize
I saw a comedian talking about how laid back Canadians are. He said the Salvation Army could whip them.
Who do you think would win in a fight between a Beaver and a Bald Eagle?
Pound for pound the wolverine is the toughest land animal in North America, only a beaver has been known to kill them, If a bald Eagle invade her or his den , the Engle will be drowned also.
The maple grows old, sweet, and strong and even the fungus dose a good job and we just shake off the bad news leaves.
Both Maple and Oak trees have lived longer than when our countries were born
I suppose if the eagle grabbed the beaver and dropped it from 1,000 feet, the eagle would win, but the beaver would probably have the advantage if it were Roman Greco wrestling rules.
Don't they have to fight Stone Cold Steve Austin first?
Tom Koecke
The beaver is too big for the Engle to lift unless the Engle cheats and take steroid, the battle would be fought around the water, beaver wins.
Like the local snake defeating the dragon.
All we have to do is give them all the beer they can drink, and then slip in while they are sleeping it off!
The only part I'll lay claim to is Beth!
You can't get that drunk on American beer, won't work.
The "invasion" would turn into a lot of heavy drinking, clean up afterward would be the true tragedy.
Canada cannot be conquered. F18s don't work in our winters, tanks would be stuck in the snow and aircraft carriers can't match our icebergs. Plus every citizen is armed with at least 2 hockey sticks.
The Nazi's worst lost ever, was fighting Russian in Russia’s winter. USA Army main boot camps are in warm climates. If they invade us; we will give them, the good old snow job, Yeah!!! We also carry big sticks,
Or you could slide stones at the advancing army from across the ice. In order to ensure the stones slide on target and at the right speed you could sweep the ice in front of the stone as it was sliding and ...
nevermind
"The "invasion" would turn into a lot of heavy drinking"
That would almost certainly be the point.
The USA invading Canada is a ridiculous thought in and of itself.
USA invading 45 other countries combine since war world Two and mainly killing poor people is too.
Money spent on the Iraq war will surpass the cost of Vietnam by the end of the year, making it the second most expensive military conflict in American history, behind World War II ...
I think the U.S. secretly conquered us a long time ago and they didn't even have to fire a shot.
You might be right, brainwashing is hell of a weapon.
Why the heck would we invade Canada, it's too cold up there, and besides we got Alaska. Also, all the Canadians would end up in Florida and make it a Democrat state. No, there is no reason to invade Canada.
There's an old joke: Canada is a land of missed opportunity: they could have had British culture, French cuisine, and American technology, but they ended up with American culture, British cuisine, and French technology.
Ba-dump bump! Thanks, I'll be here all week; don't forget to tip those hardworking bartenders and waiters!
Seriously, though, invading Canada? What a dumb idea, eh? Only a buncha hosers would do that.
I visit Canada pretty frequently, and I have to say it's a great country full of great folks. There's no reason at all for the US (or anybody, really) to be angry with Canada. Well, perhaps except for the Quebecoise (sp?), but that's an internal matter.
Alaska too cold and Florida is too hot, Vancouver is just right.
To invade, greed is all you need, there are 200 countries with American miltary bases and USA/Russia own 90% of the nuke warheads.
Why ? to own the planet or crowd control, maybe,
So, in short the British were good starters,but lousy finishers?
Yes,very good at inventing, very bad at exploiting!
When Bayliss invented the wind up radio and he was trying to raise funds to produce it, he was told by one merchant banker that it was a stupid idea and he might as well shove it up his ****, that'd work just as well!
Often enough in Canada too, we raise it, Americans graze it
Canadian companies surely make a business from selling their produce to the USA and of course other countries.
I dont really get your point there?
Because USA has 10 times the market than Canada’s, most of our talents and bigger businesses move to the USA, wail most of our largest corporation in Canada is owned by Americans.
US know how to make a buck from almost anything, wail we have so many rules
You guys do seem to produce a remarkable number of talented entertainers, that's for sure.
Here would be a good place to point out my Hub on the funniest Canadians of all time... but I don't want to self-promote, so I will just post some pics of some famous hot Canadian women..
You need to take that first picture out of your list. She stopped being anything close to hot about 15 years ago. Now she is just silicone and hepatitis.
How do you know our women are easy?
Where do you live and how many Canadian women have you gone out with?
Don't count the French Canadian
I think that used to be true,but now its becoming increasingly rare to find American made products ,and if they are to be found they cannot compete with imported versions.
My God I live in Ohio (2/3 hrs from Canada) and 80% of fish sold in 3 supermarkets all come from Asia?
Whats up with that USA?
Really pisses me off.
I dont want fish from China's polluted waters.
I want it from Canada or Alaska or New Zealand.
Ok got that off my chest
Thank the regulators and environmentalists.
All kidding aside, Canada is a beautiful country and most of the people I've met from there (in the real world, not online) have been very good folks. In fact, quite a few gals from there have turned out to be very, very friendly folks...
Blame Canada, blame Canada; with their beady little eyes and the flappy heads so full of lies!
Blame Canada, blame Canada; they're not even a real country anyway...
John Patriotism or Nationalism is alive and well in every country.
The funny thing is that every counry beleives there strengths and skills are unique.
Rommel also said that with the NZ Native Maori and Germanys Adolf Hitler ,they could have won the war-
Like that would ever have happened,their dislike for Germany was almost as great as their dislike for Britian,who incidently have a strong history of invading and bullying colonials.
Eagle, don't get me wrong, I'm only responding to the constant belittling.
I don't say we're unique, I just respond to the claim that we invented little with the truth.
It isn't patriotism to deny the truth, it's plain stupidity, especially when the US has many things it can claim greatness in!
Soooooomebody's got the inferiority complex thing going today....
Yes, but never mind, you're amongst friends and we won't do more than gently rib you for your beliefs.
You'll be alright. You must have some old books and such from when your land was significant that you can lean on for solace.
Erm, 54% 25% isn't an historical figure you know, it is now
Not historical OR accurate. *snif* *snif* The scent of desperation hangs heavy in the air!
I knew it, it had to come sometime, the facts are wrong!
MIT are a bunch of liars!
"We are right, everybody else is wrong!"
Get a life
You reference ONE uncited opinion by someone at MITI AND feel the need to add all manner of qualifiers and excuses and hang your obviously desperate national pride on THAT?
How the mighty have fallen...
One uncited opinion! Qualifiers and excuses!
Keep digging, you'll reach bottom soon.
Did you provide a link? Did you not add qualifiers and excuses? Is the OPINION of someone at MITI the global standard for propping up British people who are insecure and have a weak command of the English language?
Yes, loads.
Not half so insecure as a bunch of yanks who HAVE to claim credit for everything and have a very poor command of the English language, I mean, faucet! Momentarily! I could care less!
Really, keep practising, you might get to grips with the language soon, in another few generations.
Ok, let's see the link. And while you're at it, let's see the citeria by which someone's opinion at MITI is a globally accepted standard.
We can start there and then get to your language issues later.
I've already shown you.
Give it up don't make yourself look really bad.
"The figures offered by MITI are generally agreed throughout the scientific and engineering community."
But not by loser Americans
You never gave me a link or justified your 'unusual' criteria. You may do so now.
""The figures offered by MITI are generally agreed throughout the scientific and engineering community."
That's not a link or any kind of support. That's just a quote of yourself. Come on, tell me what your first language is.
Look, if you're not happy with what I supplied, it is up to you to provide convincing alternative evidence. It is not up to me to spend countless time providing links which you will refuse to believe.
You NEVER provided a link. How can I be happy with that? I'm not asking you to type the same thing over and over, just ONCE would be nice. You have a link, don't you? You could even provide a link to your post here that contained a link. That would be fine. Anything to suggest you didn't just fish the figures out of the British culinary world (otherwise known as a giant a......)
Read the post and see the link, OK, not too difficult, unlike you providing alternative contradictory information.
There was never any link. Show me the link. Don't fear the link. Come link!
Why haven't you posted opposing information yet?
Could it be that you know you won't find any?
After all, I have confidence in the information that I posted, you haven't so it's up to you to prove it wrong.
Think of it as a trial, I've put my side, you oppose it, you prove your side.
You must have the link, right? Don't be stingy.
I've given it to you once.
Now, about your counter evidence.
Ohhhhhh was just gonna chirp in and say quit squabbling you two!!
then relised I actually agree with you there John, and Im fine with it ,until an American offers to teach me English
Ok, opinions are one thing ,but lets not attack one another.
You never gave me a link! How are is it to just paste in the reply field?
"How are is it to"
Another fine example of your grasp of the English language.
You have still not provided me with any evidence to contradict me.
You never provided a link and now you are tryying to tap-dance your way out of town...
...but wait, is a REAL man here to claim his woman?
Don't just talk, provide me with counter evidence.
I'm going nowhere. 54% 24%
Gimme a link first! How the hell do I kow what I'm "counter"ing if you don't make your position plain?
OK, this is the link to evidence of what I knew anyway
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_country … inventions
Now prove me wrong!
That's not a link to a 'study,' that's a link to a passing reference to a supposed 'study.' Come on now, you know better than that.
You haven't quite got the hang of this reply thing have you?
I'm still waiting for your evidence that the link I provided for you is wrong.
It should be easy for you to find a link that says Americans are the greatest inventors ever, mustn't it?
By the way, have you looked up Alan Turing yet? Bill Gates knows.
Yeah, no one's ever heard of Turing before... Are you serious? It is beyond ridiculous to try and claim Gates built Microsoft on his work. Why not claim he 'stole' his ideas from the abacus while you're at it?
I am STILL waiting for a link to this 'study' you are resting your entire national identity upon. Not a link to a mention of it but a link to the actual 'study.' If you can't provide one you'd better let it go and try to find something else to hang your pride upon.
And why is the truth ridiculous? I wouldn't claim that he stole his ideas from the abacus because he didn't.
I've told you, if you don't believe that the UK is responsible for 54% of the worlds inventions whilst the US is responsible for a niggardly 25% then it is up to you to prove it. If you can't then it's up to you to let it go and find something else to hang your pride onto!
"I've told you, if you don't believe that the UK is responsible for 54% of the worlds inventions whilst the US is responsible for a niggardly 25% then it is up to you to prove it. If you can't then it's up to you to let it go and find something else to hang your pride onto!"
I believe you.
But 54% of useless junk is just useless junk.
25% of brilliant is brilliant.
"How are is it to just"
Translate please.
Still awaiting your proof that I'm wrong.
"And why is the truth ridiculous?"
As soon as you post some we can address the issue.
"Still waiting for your repudiation."
Repudiation of what? I've still seen no link. Is it a secret?
I posted it, if you're incapable of seeing then just back off, eat humble pie!
STILL no link to this supposed 'study.' A link to a discussion where someone mentions the study is not valid (for the 1000th time!).
If you can't support your claim, stop making it.
That would suit you wouldn't it!
I gave you the link, here are a few more for you to deny. I assume that you don't read Japanese.

Back at you! If you can't support your claim then stop making it.
You assume incorrectly. Give me the real link. I told you that links to other sources talking about it are not legitimate. Hurry it up.
I think iraq has the greatest raw invention in the world ever
Sometimes, I wonder if SS is linked to Mark
I wonder where the link to that ONE actual opinion is.
We challenge you infidels to attempt to export your imperialist expansion into our free, glorious northern land!
We shall smite thy loins and innards with a wrath unprecedented in warfare!
Whoa to those who dare awake the great northern giant, for his heart is gentle and soft, but his benevolence will dissipate if so much as one hockey game needs to be canceled due to your hostile hostilities of hostilness!
I think that the US should invade Canada. It might help stimulate the world's economy.
Ill-advised wars are top of the list of things that the Americans are good at. I believe you should always play to your strengths...
American per capita leave the largest carbon foot print on the face of the earth.
Let’s take care of our health, First 1ST before making the American rich, richer
oh hell! thank you for posting this,... i read through the whole conversation,.... this may be the laugh that gets me through the rest of this week!
..bon jour, eh?.....folks would start talking funny and smell like maple syrup........
or as Red Green might say "If Canadians don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
..i could go on and on....
Mmm’m Pancakes and maple syrup
Most of us do not survive on a hamburger, fries and a coke.
...no more 'war on drugs' either....juste une guerre sur le fromage....
...okay now i'd like to see what it looks like from the west coast angle...any thoughts?...i've a few.....but i'll let you go first...lol
....i'm a little further west than you...you gotta swim over.......I was thinking more like socks with sandals even in the winter....do you think they could handle it?......later...gater......
....aaaahhhhh the west coast of Canada.....
Many of the hotest looking Babe's in the world, come from Vancouver.
Do you have any of those.
...yor lookin' at her....the big island ....not Britain either......VanIsl.....lots of those old guys too who think they own the island and the beaches!
Yes, lots of newlyweds and nearly dead
Beaches in Vancouver area are said to be among 10 ten beat beaches in the world, During the Olympic they advertize BC Canada as the best place on earth, although I think that’s over done, sounds a little Nazi
...that's Gordie's thing...Christie will say BC is the best place for families...
yup....dead heads.... lol
...what do they say about the cash from all the nearly dead?...something about there is so much of it, it could sink the island....
...lots of sayings - i luv it....i have a few of my own as in 'socks with sandals'!
...couldn't get the picture up
"French me, I'm Canadian"
It's not fair, the french are too sexy, from my experience anyway.
I have lived more in Ontario and we have clubs, the French have parties.
You know, the US should in deed invade Canada. Serves them right : Canada has cleverly let Justin Beiber infest the US
What about all the USA boy bands and rap we are forced to listen to.
This is just revenge
Ok, peace. In the name of Gordon Lightfoot
American Revolution.
The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783
20,000 American Death
The 1812 war , at that time we were not a real country anyway.
20, 000 American death, the native dislike the American greater than the French, British and Canadian combined

What will it take for USA to realize we need to start minding our own business?Wouldn't this be the simplest solution to all the issues with other countries? I hate to sound cold hearted but if they want to kill their neighbors it's none of our business. Why not just work towards being 100%...

Another lie that we've been fed to. I've learnt like everybody that the Allies declared war to Germany because it invaded Poland on Sept 1939, the truth is different. Georges VI's speech says it all! You will notice that the style is the copycat of the one we use to justify our invasions...

I didn't need a poll to know this one. BUT a Quinnipiac University Poll has proven the obvious. If the United States is invaded by a foreign power, most Democrats would run and most Republicans would stay and fight. When people have to face real-world consequences for their...
